Margo's Got Money Troubles

Rufi Thorpe

3 Reviews

Rated 0

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

A blisteringly funny and heartwarming novel about a young woman - navigating a desperate lack of funds, new motherhood and becoming an adult - who gets creative on OnlyFans.

'An audacious, wildly funny, completely unpredictable novel . . . absolutely brilliant'
Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here

Margo Millet's got money troubles. As the child of a Hooter's waitress and an ex-Pro-Wrestler, she's always known she'd have to make it on her own. When she finds herself pregnant by her college professor - who is very keen not to be involved - she realizes she will need cash fast.

At twenty, alone with a baby, what Margo lacks in options she makes up for in ingenuity, and soon she has a plan: she'll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, producing content and writing storylines unlike anything else out there. Help arrives in the form of her live-action role-playing flatmate Suzie, and her father, Jinx - a recovering addict and veteran of the wrestling world, who has experience of making an audience fall in love.

Before she knows it, Margo is an online phenomenon. Could this be the answer to all of Margo's problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?

'Damn funny, but also touching and smart and surprising and beguiling and just completely bad ass'
Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies

Praise for Margo's Got Money Troubles

  • An audacious, wildly funny, completely unpredictable novel by a writer so singular that it's hard to compare her to anyone else . . . An absolutely brilliant book.

  • Long after the last page of Margo's Got Money Troubles, I think of certain lines and bust out laughing. In public. This novel is damn funny, but also touching and smart and surprising and beguiling and just completely bad ass. Rufi Thorpe is truly one of one!

  • A hilarious novel about making the most of what you've got. Sharp and funny by turns, this is an exceptionally tender look at young motherhood and love that also involves professional wrestling, and yes, OnlyFans. I gobbled it up.
